For the talks Andrei and Herb will be giving, check out the C&B schedule. I think you'll find that the mix of talks this year is especially compelling, even by C&B standards.

Registration for C++ and Beyond continues through the end of July, but we're nearly 3/4th full, and once all the seats are gone, they're gone. In addition, the discounted room rate for C&B attendees expires on July 6, so if you're interested in being part of the premier C++ event of 2012 (at least among those being held in Asheville, NC, in August :-}), I encourage you to sign up sooner rather than later.

The list price of the bundle is $95.99, but, from what I can tell, the "normal" pre-order price is $76.79. The email says that with the code, the price drops to $62.40.

I don't know if I'm supposed to share this coupon code with you, but the email didn't say I shouldn't, so here you go :-)

In my original post about this digital book bundle, I noted that I had not had a chance to review the product, and that's still the case. (They tell me I'll get a copy once they're sure it's ready to ship, which I think is quite reasonable.) I've also not tested the discount code mentioned above. But I have no reason to think that the bundle is anything less than it's advertised to be, nor do I have a reason to doubt the authenticity of the coupon code.

If you're interested in having electronic copies of my books for only about $20 each, this looks like a good way to get them.

PS - My wife suggests you buy as many copies as you can afford. My editor wonders whether it'd really be such a hardship if you were to buy a few more than you can afford :-)

Are those updated versions of your books, or is that one SKU for all three
existing books in that series?

I replied:

This is a single SKU for digital editions of all my existing books. The content of the books is the same as the current editions of the printed books. I was not actually aware that this SKU had been put online, though I knew it was in the planning stages.

My books have been available in PDF for over three years (per this post from Feburary 2009), but, as far as I know, this is the first time they've been made available as a bundle of all three books in both PDF and ePub formats. I have not yet had a chance to examine this bundle myself (the author is always the last to know...), but when I announced the PDF versions in February 2009, I wrote:

[The PDFs are] DRM-free and chock-full of linked navigation in all the ways I believe you have a right to expect: tables of contents, indices, cross-references, URLs, mailtos, the whole nine yards.

To the best of my knowledge, all those features are still present. For all I know, so are a whole bunch more. Once I get my hands on the digital bundle and take a look at it, I'll let you know for sure.
